I cant believe the price on some of this stuff so I think I will go middle of the road with iTechworld.Re: Where to mount solar panels on roof?What are your thoughts on http://www.goalzero.com/solar-panels 90W for $449 dollars seems expensive. The full kit with a battery is $1799. Seems crazy. I keep looking at the plastic ones and think that I need a frame around it.Re: Where to mount solar panels on roof?Hey Greenrvgreen I like them, but I think the ones on Aluminium by iTechworld look tougher. these look lie a complete package No idea how to attach a photo but I think the folding 160W with a bag will be more then enough. http://itechworld.com/collections/solar/products/folding-solar-panel-kit-160-watt And better then having it stuck on the roof.

Why not get a folding set like these ones http://itechworld.com/collections/solar/products/folding-solar-panel-kit-160-watt I am trying to work out if I should fix the panels or get a folding set that I can move around the trailer and chase the sun. The little kits look like they are only good for charging a phone.Re: Where to mount solar panels on roof?What about these ones http://itechworld.com/collections/solar/products/airflex-solar-panel-kit-100-watt They are down the road from me, its on aluminium and comes with a 2 year warrenty. Apparently I can just sickaflex it to the trailer. Comes with a solar charge controller and cables. Seems a better deal then the plastic ones or the glass onesRe: Where to mount solar panels on roof?Why is everyone putting big heavy panels on their trailers when their are light weight flexible panels that are monocrystalline with marine grade aluminium sheets? Doesn't this just add considerably extra weight to the GVM of the trailer?Re: Best way to charge battery with free-standing generator??If you are thinking about solar panels check out these ones www.itechworld.com They are light weight 100W panels that you can glue to your RV/Van etc and come with a solar charge controller to protect the battery and the solar panels. They are only 3 kg and easier to use then conventional panels.
